Carl's Cool Kids and Hardee's Cool Kids Meal Toys (part 1/?)

Hello all,

Not too long ago, I made a post about the Cyberchase toys that were available from Carl's Jr. and Hardees back in 2003. This was a tiny part of the Cool Kids promotion that was shared between the two restaurants. The Cool Kids promotion itself lasted about 18 years, based on the archives that I have seen. It started with a "Cow and Chicken" promotion back in February of 2000.

The last promotion is unknown, as the links for November 2017 through April 2018 are missing their graphics, and their target pages are broken. The last one that has its image archived was an August/September 2017 promotion for "oddbods".

For the most part, I am going to stick to the "past promotion" pages, as those give us images and names for all of the products all in one image. If this is missing, then I will attempt to use the set of images from the "toy closeups" page. However, I will need to skip some of these promotions entirely, as I was unable to find images from them.

The year 2000

For February and March of 2000, we have a set of toys from the legendary old Cartoon Network show "Cow and Chicken". I remember watching this sometimes when visiting my grandma, who had cable. I don't really remember it though.

For April and June of 2000, was have "Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot". I have never heard of this before. It ran on Fox Kids in 2001, so I am a bit surprised that I didn't see it alongside other shows I watched back then.

For June and July of 2000, we get a version of Tom and Jerry that was airing on cartoon network. What can I say about these two that hasn't already been said? I remember watching a few incarnations of Tom and Jerry. I think this is the one with William Hanna and Joseph Barbara. It doesn't look like the Chuck Jones variant from what I remember.

For July and August of 2000, we get some superheroes from DC. One thing I notice about these toys is that they don't have a consistent art-style. Wonder Woman is a particularly obvious outlier. They don't seem to be associated with a particular cartoon incarnation.

For September and November of 2000, we have "Brothers Flub". My only opportunity to watch Nickelodeon was visiting my grandma. I don't think I ever saw this show. Apparently the brothers are space couriers.

For October of 2000, we get "Monster Buckets". This picture is grainy, so I cannot make out all of the art. I wonder if this was custom-made, or if this was pre-existing art.

For November and December of 2000, we get "Tiny Toon Adventures". I've only seen bits and pieces of this myself. I know it has a huge following that endures to this day.

For January and February of 2001, we got toys for "Godzilla: The Series". This is another one that aired on Fox Kids back when I watched that channel. However, I don't remember ever seeing this series.

For March and April of 2001, we got "Max Steel". I had never heard of this series before. Apparently, this kids gets attacked by the villain and nearly killed by nano-bots. In an effort to save his life, he is given T-Juice, which saves his life and gives him superhuman abilities.

For April and May of 2001, we get "Monster Rancher". This is not a franchise that I am familiar with, but it is apparently pretty big and ongoing.

For June 2001, we get Crash Bandicoot. He's kind of a big deal. And Spyro is here as well.

For July and August of 2001, we got Wallace and Grommit. This was before the "Curse of the Were-Rabbit" film, which was probably my introduction to the franchise.

And now, we reach a gap. In September 2001, there was a Nascar promotion. And then, in November and December of 2001, there was an "Olive the Other Reindeer" promotion. I couldn't find any official photos for these promotions.

2002

In January and February of 2002, we got Phantom Investigators. I find this promotion fascinating. The series only ran for 13 episodes, between May and August of 2002. These are probably the only toys that were ever released for the series. They may be the only merch of any sort released for the show. I need to sit down and watch it, as the art style is something really special.

For February and March of 2002, we get a Pokemon promotion with little cups topped with Pikachu, Totodile, Mewtwo, and Charizard.

For April and May of 2002, we get the legendary magical girl anime Cardcaptors, based on the manga Cardcaptor Sakura.

And now, we get another gap. I couldn't find any official images for the June 2002 Spider-man promotion.

For August 2002, we get some Digimon toys.

For September 2002, we get "Jackie Chan Adventures". I loved this show growing up. I didn't get to see it very often, but it was good.

For October 2002, we got some Spider-man Halloween buckets.

For November and December of 2002, we go back to the classics for Peanuts, specifically "A Charlie Brown Christmas".

2003

Before we get into the 2003 promotions, let's bring back Cyberchase for a moment. While surviving bags of the togs show that they were released at Carl Jr's and Hardees in 2003, we don't know exactly when they were out. They were never given a promotion of their own. Instead, they were the backup toys when the currently running promotion was sold out. I'm not sure why they didn't give Cyberchase its own promotion.

For January and February of 2003. we got a promotion for the original Ice Age.

For March and April of 2003, we got a promotion for Cubix. This was a South Korean production that got a 4-Kids English dub. I don't remember it.

For May and June of 2003, we get a promotion for Dragon Ball. I hope I don't need to explain what this is. It's kind of a big deal.

For July and August of 2003, we get a promotion for "The Martians".

Now, hold on a second, I don't remember a cartoon called "The Martians" from back then. And I cannot find a cartoon by that name. Wait a minute...

Yeah, I guess Carl Jrs. and Hardees weren't comfortable with the original title of "Butt-Ugly Martians", so they renamed it to "The Martians" and re-did the logo. I couldn't find anything on the Wikipedia page about the show being renamed for different broadcasters or countries, so this may have been just for this toy release. How bizarre.

For August and September of 2003, we get a promotion for everyone's favorite mummy movie.

Gamer’s rage; Rocket raccoon x gn! reader

*Author’s note*

Okay so this is a combined request for an anon and @itsscromp​ but first I must apologize because I no ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about video games, I did some minor research for Call of Duty so if there are any COD fans out there and I’ve f-ed it up about what the first game does, I’m sorry because I’ve never played it and nor any real video games for that matter (my last video game was Bratz Rock Angels).

Not really any warnings just gamer rage, swearing, and gun violence (both video game and in the story. C’mon it’s Rocket guys what’d you expect?)

____________________________________________________________

Rocket and I sat a few feet apart from each other but refused to look at the other while Peter was pacing in front of us and the rest of the Guardians were scattered throughout the ship.

“Okay, can you please tell me why the hell the ship looks like a bomb went off in the southern deck?”

“As him!” I snapped.

“Ask me! You’re the one who had the blasters in your hand!” Rocket yelled at me.

“Well I wasn’t the one who threw the actual bomb!”

“Well how else was I gonna stop you from acting like a psycho!”

“You know what?!”

“What!?”

“ALRIGHT ENOUGH!!” Peter screamed at us to stop.  “I don’t care who started it or who used what, I just want to know why the hell you guys blew up my ship!?”

“I am Groot.” Said Groot.

“Wait what?” Peter asked.

“I am Groot.”

“It wasn’t that big of a deal.” Said Rocket. I laughed sarcastically as Rocket snarled at me baring his teeth.

“I let you take one round and then when I start winning, you go ballistic!”

“Oh bull!”

“Hold on, you mean to tell me the reason you guys nearly destroyed my ship and aren’t speaking to each other is over a stupid video game?!”

“Not just any game Quill, it was a battle for one’s right to destroy the villainous monsters that were the pansies.” Drax said in awe.

“Nazis, Drax. They were called Nazis.” I corrected him.

“Like the ones Steve fought.” Mantis added.

“Well he mostly fought off Hydra officers but I guess they’re the same thing. They were both douchebags of history.” I said.  I guess you’re wondering just what the hell is going on, well let me take you back to how this whole mess began.

*Flashback*

On our base at Nowhere I was going through the itinerary supplies for the Nowhere Trading Company (or NTC as I called it).  I was going through the black market goods we managed to swipe from some pirates just 4 quadrants from reaching Xandar’s atmosphere.

I opened up the crate and looked inside to see that it was filled with some classic video games back on Earth.

“Holy shit.” I reached in and grabbed a Spyro the Dragon (yep the first ever Spyro game).  “God I hadn’t seen this game since I was a kid.” I continued to dig through and found Crash Bandicoot: The Huge Adventure.  “Oh my god, they got almost everything in here.”

The first Mass effect games, the original Super Mario Bros, Mario cart, Sonic the Hedgehog, but I let out a gasp as I quickly dug through the games and pulled out my all time favorite game and felt my arms shaking with excitement.

I ran across Nowhere with the game in my bag, I just had to find him there’s no way he’d ever refuse a game like this.

“Rocket! Rocket! Yo Rocket answer me! Rocket! ROCKET!!”

“Geez I’m right here what’d you blow a gasket or something kid?” Rocket said.  I quickly turned to see him remodeling one of the buildings into our storage units, he lifted his goggles over his head and set the blow torch down.  I bounded on the balls of my feet excitedly.  “You sure you don’t need to use the bathroom kid?”

“You’re not gonna believe what I found.” I sung out.  He sighed and came down from the building and walked up to me.

“Alright I’ll bite. What’d you find?” I reached into my bag and handed him the game still bouncing excitedly.  “Call of Duty?”

“The first Call of Duty game ever made. No other game could beat out the overrated game that is Halo but this game doubled not only in sale ratings but graphics and story as well.”

“It’s another mind-numbing game. I swear you and Groot are cut from the same cloth when it comes to video games.”

“Come on! I’ve got a feeling you’re really gonna like this one.”

“Not interested, now if you don’t mind I gotta get back to work before Quill gets on my back about finishing this storage unit.” He handed me the case back and climbed back up the stairs.  That’s when I said.

“You get to shot at people and blow things up.” He stopped midway up the stairs and turned back to me and said lowly.

“I’m listening.”

“Like Halo, this is a first person shooter game. That’s when you become the character, not just you controlling a character like most video games are. And this takes place during a real life war that happened in my world, the one that Captain Rogers fought in, and you get to shot and kill all the Nazi soldiers you want.”

“What about the blowing things up? You said I could do that right?”

“Oh yeah. Trust me Rocket, this was the first Mature rated game I played at my friend’s house and my god did we blow some shit up.”

“Well screw Quill then! If he wants this storage unit done, he can do it himself. Now uhh—how do we play this thing exactly?”

“There’s gotta be a game station in one of the other boxes where I found this along with a bunch of other games. C’mon.” we raced back to my station and we looked through a couple of more crates until Rocket game across the one that was filled with a bunch of various gaming stations.  “Ah-ha! Here it is, PlayStation. Just what we need!”

“Think I might have the perfect place for that.” I followed Rocket back to our ship and that’s where we had set up the game console in the Southern levels of the ship where we had all the monitors and TV/Radio transmitters.

Rocket hooked up the PlayStation to the monitors and after a few switches and wire sparks (better not to ask about that part), once I turned on the game the PlayStation opening rang off and showed off its logo.

“Oh yeah! Alright Rocket hop and squat and prepare to get your virtual ass kicked.”

“Please, I’ve been firing guns since you were in diapers.” He said as he grabbed his controller and I took mine and went through the menu to choose our battlefield.

“Well shooting people in real life vs. virtual works a little differently. But I’ll take that bet there Rocket.” Once the menu showed our options and the title card of the game, I selected my character while Rocket chose his.  Next I chose our mission and once we were ready, I scrolled down to the BEGIN MISSION option and the screen went black as it began to load.

The first round of our mission obviously I won but it gave Rocket a chance to learn the ropes of the game and how it worked.  So when the next round came in, he got the upper hand and killed me.

“Alright kid, final round is mine for the taking!” Rocket exclaimed.

“Don’t get cocky Rocket just cause you won this round.”

“Please I got this game in the bag.” He selected our final mission and we began our mission.  Guns were fired and each side of our screens went red with blood until I came out on top and won the final round.  “WHAT THE—”

“HA! In your face Rocket! I am the winner! I am the winner!” I said doing my little victory dance.

“No fair you cheated!”

“Yeah right you just can’t admit that when it comes to virtual shooting you suck at it.”

“I’ll show you who sucks at shooting!” he soon pulled out his gun and fired a warning shot right at me.  I flipped over the shot and ducked down.

“What the fuck man!”

“You wanna say I suck again!? Go ahead and say it.” He challenged me.  I took out my own gun and fired it at him as he jumped out of the way.

“Warning shot. Next one wont miss.” I warned him.

“You better hope not.” Next thing I knew, the two of us were shooting at each other trying to kill the other, throwing insults at the other for a terrible shot.

Which leads us back to the present.

*Flashback ends*

At the end of our story, Peter pinched the bridge of his nose and shook his head disappointedly.

“So can you tell a certain Terran that they’re an arrogant asshole and shouldn’t mess with a true professional?” Rocket said.

“Only if a certain rodent knows that real life shooting and virtual shooting aren’t the same. And that they’re a sore loser and should just suck it up and put on his bog boy pants and accept that someone else can be as good as he is.”

“Like I’d ever admit that!”

“You know you are such a pest you know that!?” I snapped.

“Takes one to know one don’t you think Flea!?”

“I told you to never call me that again!”

“I’ll call yah whatever I want and right now you’re a flea!” I roared as I pounced on him and the two of us began to rumble with each other.  Growling and screaming at each other until Peter forced us apart.

“ALRIGHT! I’M CALLING A TIME OUT!!”

“No Quill. I was placing all my money on (Y/n) to win.” Drax said.

“Drax what have we said about placing bets on each other to die whenever a fight breaks out?” Peter said.

“You really suck the joy out of everything. Groot do not take my money, the bet is on halt.”

“I am Groot.”

“After these two, I’m having a talk with the both of you.” Quill released us and began his reprimanding.  “You two wanna act like children? Okay then. Go to your room and I don’t wanna see the two of you until you learn to make up and be friends again.”

“As if.” We both said as he still refused to look at each other.

“If not I could always use some target practice dummies.” Nebula suggested.

“We’re not dummies!” we both exclaimed.

“Then it’s your choice. An hour or so in isolation together, or one of you is going to be holding this on top of your heads.” She pulled out a crushed piece of tin and held it out to us.  With no other choice we grumbled as we walked away.  Shoving each other nonchalantly as we grumbled insults at one another.

*3rd Person POV*

“Ugh I swear those two. Being as good friends as they are, when they fight oh god. It’s literally like trying to separate two dogs who want to kill each other. But thanks for that reverse psychology move on them Nebula, I appreciate it.”

“That wasn’t a psychological move.” She said.  Everyone went silent before one by one each decided they needed to be somewhere other than where they were right at that moment.

*My POV*

One bad thing about sharing a room with your (ex) best friend, is having an intense argument and having to be in that same room with your (ex) best friend.  Rocket and I sat back to back of each other with our arms crossed and a permanent scowl on our faces in dead silence.  The air so think with our anger it could be cut with a knife. But after a while of cooling down, I uncrossed my arms and said.

“I’ve heard how the video games have turned people crazy, but I didn’t think it’d ever happen to me.”

“So you finally admit it?”

“What I’m trying to say asshole, is that I don’t want our lifelong friendship to end over something so stupid. We were both in the wrong.”

“Yeah. Guess you’re right kid.” Finally we turned and looked at each other and I said to him.

“Maybe it was better I didn’t find those stupid games.”

“Now don’t go blaming yourself kid. You were hit with uhh—what did you call it again, nausea?”

“Nostalgia.”

“Right yeah that. Hell if I had a life like yours before I was made, I’d be doing the same thing.”

“I’m sorry Rocket, for nearly trying to shoot your brains out.”

“And I’m sorry (Y/n). For calling yah flea and for…..being a sore loser.” We smiled softly at each other before I hugged him.  He tensed up at first but relaxed and I felt his arms wrap around me.

- #noid is for images without descriptions or functional alt text.

No DNI, I just block. I usually block bigots, rude ppl, pointless discourse, harry potter fans, proshippers (some "antis" too, idk this whole thing is dumb to me), & sometimes ppl who just annoy me. I'm here for a good time, I'm not here to argue & I don't appriciate ppl trying to start shit. (Letting me know of I'm rbing someone shitty is appriciated.)

Please HARD BLOCK me if you don't want me to follow you. I'll assume tumblr is fucking up & re-follow if I'm softblocked coz that happens a lot, please just properly block me.

I'm Blitz, I'm a commie anarchist furry from down-under & my tagging system is a mess. (More info under the cut)

I love animals, hairless cats & australian wildlife are my faves. Blue & purple are my fave colors. I like loud electronic & alt music; Punk, Metal, Nu-Metal, New-Wave, Ska, Drum n Bass, Industrial, Breakcore, ect.

I draw a lot, it's like my number 1 thing, art blog is @staticblitz.

I'm not a huge fandom person, but I have a Crash Bandicoot blog @n-trance, Crash Bandicoot is my number 2 thing.

I love science fiction, fantasy & horror, stuff like; Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Star Trek, Invader Zim, Doctor Who, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Dorohedoro, Berserk, Digimon Furries & table top role-playing games.

I'm a weird kind of aroace bisexual queer, I'm a transsexual in the sense that I'm trans, I take hormones (testosterone) & am post-op (hysterectomy); I believe being trans is different for everyone & hate truscum/transmeds. I also don't like transandrophobia/transmisandry truthers, listen to trans women & learn about transmisogyny without getting defensive. I promise you, there is space for us in the framework of discussions about transmisogyny already. PLEASE don't take posts I make about *MY* experiences as someone transmasc adjacent & get mad thinking I'm generalizing the whole trans man/transmasc community. I am one guy (system) & cannot speak for the entire community & I don't try to!

I am kink & sex positive, I sometimes do sexwork & I talk about it sometimes. That said I do have boundaries & I do think you ought to be responsible for what you post & where (ie; tag that shit & keep it away from kids). I cant prevent it, but would prefer DDLG or ABDL blogs not follow or interact with me (it's fine if you use a non-kink related blog instead. I don't judge you, I just have trauma surrounding this). Thanks 💖

Proshippers are weird, not keen on antis either but equating finding your pedo/incest fanfic a bit gross to police violence is actually nonsensical, end of discussion.

I think Marxism is pretty pog, I'm by no means an expert but I am very politically active where I live. I grew up poor with my 2 siblings & my single disabled mum, we are ex-Jehovahs Witnesses (yes thats important). This has shaped a lot of my world view, I align myself with the marginalised & working class people of the world. I am heavily critical of capitalism, liberalism, nationalism & imperialism. If you have a problem with commies or anarchists, you probably won't like me. I hate fascists & I hate cops. I love my community tho & working together with anyone who wants to work toward a better world.

I am moderately able-bodied, but have mental disabilities. I don't wanna share all but I have autism, C-PTSD & chronic fatigue among many other things. I am a system, I hate syscourse, endo systems are welcome here, ableists demanding medical history are not.

I will tag for any trigger if you ask me, I already tag a large amount of things for both categorization & moderation.

Do not send me donation posts, thanks.

This is my fursona, draw xem if you want I would love that :3

- BIO -

Meet Shamira Brooke, a wildlife conservationist who is very dedicated to protecting wildlife such as animals, plants, and the environment. She is also the surrogate albiet protective mother figure to Crash and Coco, for she had adopted them as her own and is willing to protect them along the Wumpa Islands.

For as long as she could remember, Shamira has always loved nature. As a little kid, she was very adventurous in the outdoors and explored her surroundings to find plants or animals she had encountered in her home of Australia. Little Shamira was very happy till her family had to move away for her father got a new job to a big city of Los Angelas that was very polluted, and there were hardly any forests for her to go to, nor were there any animals to find. Shamira has learned a harsh reality that people didn't care nor knew about how important nature was when she saw how much forests have been destroyed and learned that many animals or plants have gone extinct. Shamira would dedicate her life to helping the wildlife or animals, then after graduation and earning a master's degree, would go down on a wildlife career path from studying biology and ecology.

Finally, she was ready and had the skills to take on the job as a wildlife conservationist. Shamira Brooke was the best there was and would explore around the world to any forests, deserts, mountains or any kind of habitat that needed to be preserved then to spread the word of how important it is. Shamira has trained herself to be the strongest and most athletic so she could survive in the wild. She uses two boomerangs to defend herself but won't hesitate to get her hands dirty, and she always has carried many important essentials in her traveling backpack she carries around with.

There were three mystical islands she had discovered from sailing across the seas and went on to explore the islands. She would study and learn about the islands that are called " Wumpa Islands." Shamira would observe the wildlife and was careful not to disturb the natives that lived there, She loved the animals and the plants there for she had studied them non stop for several months while writing down her discoveries in her journal until she had to go back home to show off her discoveries. Shamira was very proud of finding the islands and to help preserve them, for she saw that there were some rare animal species she had found, including bandicoots that were almost near extinction. Shamira would later discover a very special blackwood tree that only grew on the island, and she would cut out a few of its bark to create herself two new boomerangs. They are as strong as steel and cut through anything, and they will always come back to her whenever she throws them.

She shared her discoveries and was well praised for it, which made her more motivated than ever to spread the word further, however she has to explore to other continents of the world to find other forms of wildlife that are yet to be discovered. She would be pretty busy and wasn't able to come back to the Wumpa Islands for quite some time, so the islands were left alone. Over the past few years, she would finally return the Islands but saw that it went under some changes and found a strange castle on the 3rd island which she immediately went there to confront the person who built it there. Shamira would meet Dr. Neo Cortex demanded to move his castle out, or she would boot him out herself. She was quickly captured by his lab assistants and was locked away in his dungeon. It all seemed hopeless till Crash rescues her when he came across her prison cell, and she would go on to go through the lab to release as many animals as she could then load them to the blimp where she drives it where Crash is on top of the blimp to fight Cortex.

After Crash defeats the mad scientist and is able to rescue Tawna, Shamira drives the blimp back to the 1st island and to release the animals back to their own habitats. Later on, Tawna would leave on her own, and then Coco would find them to live with them. She felt very guilty and irresponsible for not protecting the islands and how some of the environments suffered greatly from Dr. Cortex, and he was going to take over the world if it wasn't for Crash to stop him. Shamira was very impressed that he stopped the mad scientist but saw that Crash and his sister were just kids that needed someone to look after them aside from Aku Aku, and so Shamira would adopt the bandicoots then to stay permanently on the islands so that she would be able to preserve it better and to make up for her mistakes of leaving it unprotected. Shamira has yet to forgive herself, and the guilt weighs very heavy on her despite how much she was told that it wasn't her own fault to begin with. In her mind, she still believes it was her own fault that the islands and the animals had suffered greatly because of her negligence.

Shamira Brooke would be a caring but protective mother figure to Crash and Coco, and she does well to take care of them the best she can. Shamira would love to educate them and keep them healthy by cooking them healthy meals or helping them exercise while making sure that no harm comes to them. Other than that, she would continue her studies on the islands and try to repair the damaged parts of the islands. It is pretty challenging for her to raise the bandicoots while preserving the islands, but she wouldn't have it either way, and it was all worth it. Aku Aku helps her raise the bandicoots, and he does give her his wisdom to guide her through tough situations.

During the Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back events, Shamira finds out that Cortex was up to no good and has manipulated Crash of collecting crystals when Coco told her. She didn't want to wait around and was quick to take action of finding Crash and to stop him from giving the crystals to the mad scientist, for she holds a pretty heavy grudge against him. Soon, Cortex was aware that Shamira would ruin his plans for she was looking for Crash, so he was quick to capture her and then hold her captive in the space station within a cell. Later on, Professor M. Pathy would join her in the cell. Shamira would quickly learn that M. Pathy used to work with him, which she was understandably furious with her and berated her. The professor was quick to explain that she was tricked into building the Cortex Vortex with him and believed what she was doing was good till she discovered his true intentions, Shamira was hesitant to believe her but saw how very remorseful M. Pathy was and that she did give a tearful apology to her.

Coco eventually finds out that Shamira and Professor M. Pathy are being held captive in the space station and helped break them out by hacking the security systems to release them from their prison cell so they can reach an escape pod to leave the Cortex Vortex and back to earth on N. Sanity Island. The professor would meet Crash and Coco to profusely apologize for helping Cortex, but she was quickly forgiven by the Bandicoots. Touched by their kindness, She would stay on the island to help the bandicoots, which Shamira didn't protest for she grew to like her and did need her help. Shamira would become great friends with Professor M. Pathy and they had a lot in common while sharing similar goals in the events of Crash Bandicoot Warped they would work together of gathering crystals themselves.

They don't agree on everything and that she finds her a bit naive while clumsy, Shamira encourages her to be more careful and to be more wary. The professor helps calm her down and wants her to be less impulsive, always the voice of reason to her. After spending much time with the professor, She started to develop feelings for her and she started to become more affectionate while flirty with her. Shamira was pretty nervous herself asking her out and didn't know how to do it, but M. Pathy would ask her out before she could. They have gone on a lot of dates and officially became a couple where they would happily raise the bandicoots together alongside Aku Aku.

Welcome to my first Tumblr post!

I'm ItsWashington17 or Washington for short, who has come from the hell site that is Twitter.com. Since a certain stupid billionaire is ruining that site, I'm now looking at options for other social media sites to take refuge in case I shut down my Twitter account and Tumblr is one of them.

If you do know me from Twitter, then hi. If you don't know me, I'm a fan of the likes of Crash Bandicoot, Sonic The Hedgehog, Super Monkey Ball, as well as tons more. I'm a creator in Dreams, where I have made a bunch of content using the said franchises I'm a fan of. From 3D renders to a 15 level Crash Bandicoot fangame called Wumping Adventures, which I'm currently working on a huge update for. Additionally, I'm also make levels in the Crash Bandicoot fangame, Back In Time and I use to make some in Hot Wheels Unleashed and the LittleBigPlanet games.

I will be posting renders and some content that I do on this site and might even post some discussions related to gaming in general. I'm hoping that this site will welcome me with friendly arms, as I eventually escape from Twitter and its dumb owner.

Looking forward to sharing more with you!

blog thoughts: stop making sonic run fast

A short ramble about speedy platformers.

Sonic doesn't need to run fast. He really doesn't.

I know it's not very original to be critiquing Sonic Team's design decisions, but I just have this thought every time I play Sonic or a [better] platformer.

I like going fast in platformers. I'm not a speedrunner, but if a game has a built-in time trial system, I like playing a favorite level over and over again to win a better medal and beat my personal best. In doing so, something becomes very obvious to me.

You don't need your character to actually go fast for the game to feel fast.

Speed in a game has nothing to do with the actual miles-per-hour or meters-per-second or whatever that your character is moving through the virtual space. 

Speed in a game, to me, is the feeling of adrenaline that you get when you have a strict time limit, are entering a flow state, and are trying to optimize your movement to trim a few seconds down and avoid making any mistakes.

There's a real sense of speed in Mario if you're trying to go as fast as possible. There's a real sense of speed in Crash Bandicoot if you're trying to get those Time Relics. There's a real sense of speed in indie platformers like Toree 3D, where your running speed is MUCH slower than Sonic, but the time trial requirements force you to optimize your sprints and keep yourself in that flow state.

In all of these examples, the character is incapable of running as fast as Sonic does.

There are other great games that have such a sense of speed and momentum: Grapple Dog, SpeedRunners, Action Henk, and Clustertruck.

These games, again, don't let you boost to 100 mph. Instead, they have systems that allow for you to maintain your top speed if you keep a perfect momentum and don't hesitate. They also are designed for tracking your best times and rewarding them. The desire to push yourself a few seconds faster to get a reward is the sense of speed itself.

Even Spark the Electric Jester 3, the indie game that has arguably perfected the Sonic formula by making a spiritual successor to Sonic Adventure 2, struggles with an identity-crisis of whether the character should be zooming across the screen at blistering speed or stopping to punch robots.

It's no surprise to me that, over the years, Sonic games adapted some "autorunner elements" of zipping down a linear road and dodging incoming obstacles. The games have always been dancing around the question of whether they are "platformers" or "autorunners." There's nothing wrong with either genre, you just have to commit.

To be clear, I love Sonic and I'm a huge fan of the franchise. But please, give me a 3D Sonic game where he runs way slower. As long as you design the levels right, reward momentum and clever thinking, and grade my time with a medal or rank system, I will certainly feel the rush of speed the same way I do with Crash and Toree.
